Seven Baylor basketball players who got a last-minute NCAA reprieve to play in a Tennessee tournament last week have had their suspensions reinstated and have been declared ineligible, Coach Gene Iba said.

Iba said he plans to contest the NCAA decision.

Carlos Briggs, Eric Johnson, Robert McLemore, Darryl Middleton, Edwin Mitchell, Frank Williams and Michael Williams have been declared ineligible for various reasons and for various lengths of time. Baylor (7-3) will take eight players, including walk-ons, into Monday night's game against Texas San Antonio at Waco, Tex.
